What reasons are there to prefer glob over readdir (or vice-versa) in Perl?

Question

This question is a spin-off from this one. Some history: when I first learned Perl, I pretty much always used glob rather than opendir + read

Answer 1

glob pros: Can return 'filenames' that don't exist:

my @deck = List::Util::shuffle glob "{A,K,Q,J,10,9,8,7,6,5,4,3,2}{\x{2660},\x{2665},\x{2666},\x{2663}}";
while (my @hand = splice @deck,0,13) {
    say join ",", @hand;
}
